THANKS FOR THE INFO ON TURBO DUDES! THAT'S A NO-GO, ITS TO COMPLEX AND EXPENSIVE AND NOW IT SEEMS I'VE GOT A CHOICE BETWEEN USING MY 45DCOE SD WEBER WITH A CUSTOM MANIFOLD OR STOCK F.I. MANIFOLD WITH COSTOM THR.BODY AND PROGRAMIBLE COMP.I WANT HP ECON AND RELIABILITY SO WHAT HP CAN I EXPECT TO ACHIVE WITH THESE SET UPS WITH A CAM, WHAT CAM? WOULD THE STOCK FI MANIFOLD LACK POWER BACAUSE OF DIAMETER.IS THERE AFTER MARKET FI MANOFLODS FOR T4'S
REMEMBER ITS A STOCK 2L,1800 HDS TO BE P+P, UNDECIDED EXAUST,DIZZY AND STAND.COMP.RATIO.
HEIGHT IS A FACTOR FOR T3'S. BUDGET IS ALWAYS A FACTOR.I'M READY TO JUMP SO WHICH WAY? IS THERE ANOTHER WAY DOWN?

I think you need to take a look at Tom's page. He has a setup with stock 914 runners and a different throttle body like you are thinking of. http://home.att.net/~drsowatt/index.html

I suggest looking at my65notch's page about his Type 4 conversion. He's had the IDF/DRLA manifolds modified show that the carbs will fit under the rear deck. You could use either the carbs or TWM IDF style throttle bodies for fuel injection. Here's the URL: http://users.aol.com/my65notch/notchback.htm

Outback, please turn off the Caps Lock. In some circles, that means you're shouting.

Second, you are looking for custom parts, HP, economy, reliability, and low price. Uuuhhhhh.... Yeah. Custom and cheap are usually directly opposite. So are HP and cheap. And HP and economy. And often, HP and reliability.

I think you need a better idea of your actual needs. Prioritize, set a budget. Then go from there.
